SANSEA JEWELRY LLC is locally owned and operated by Chelsy, born and raised on the island of Kaua‘i. SANSEA began back in 2017 when Chelsy first began selling her pieces to friends at school, while also joining the monthly art walk market held in Old Kapa‘a Town.
After a quiet pause from SANSEA’s social media presence, Chelsy returned to lovingly reopen SANSEA in September of 2024. This year marks one full trip around the sun since SANSEA’s revival—a celebration of growth, extended purpose, and renewed passion. Chelsy’s love for SANSEA continues to deepen, guiding each piece with purpose and heart.
SANSEA creates ʻĀina & ocean inspired shell jewelry made with non-tarnish 14k gold filled & sterling silver metals. Designed to move with you—and made for every moment in between.
Our vision is to create everyday pieces that carry the warmth of the sun, the rhythm of the waves, and the essence of Hawai‘i.

The short answer is yes — our 14k gold filled jewelry is made to be worn daily, in and out of the water!
However, we do recommend giving your pieces a gentle rinse with fresh water after each use in saltwater. Follow up each rinse by gently drying your pieces with a clean polishing cloth. It’ll help keep them shiny and looking their best!
Store your jewelry in an airtight bag or box, away from heat and moisture. Avoid direct exposure to lotions, oils, perfumes, and harsh chemicals. It's best to put your jewelry on after you've finished applying any of those.
